Recreating Life
4 June 2020
The anger welled up
Within the bosom that flared
Like forest aflame
It bore no logic
Curving through the mind’s landscapes
It shattered all sense
Easing through the flames
My worded intention spun
Recreating Life

Shinnobu – Only by Love
Alternate Realities – Chapter Eight : Training the dragons
1 June 2020
She was awoken from her daydreaming about the dragons with a start when Horus touched her arm and pointed to a large clearing in the woods above which they were flying. Horus uttered a few words in the language of the light and the dragons swooped towards the clearing. She just had the time to cling on for dear life to the bony protrusion at the base of the dragon’s neck before they swooped as she had understood the command Horus gave just in time. The dragons had grown again in stature as she had been imagining them growing while they flew. They stood now in a circle around the large clearing.
Horus gave an order and the dragons took to the skies again before swooping down with their mouths open but without fires coming out of them. She realized that they were mimicking a flame attack but were just not using the full breath of the dragon as they did not want to set fire to the woods. Some of the dragon crossed each other’s paths and Horus asked them to stay at a safe distance from each other. He again gave the order for the attack and this time they came down swooping without crossing each other’s paths. After he had made them repeat the attack around 15 times, Horus told them that they could now play for the rest of the time.
The dragons scurried along the clearing and some wrestled playfully while the others flew about in the skies pursuing one another. A couple of dragons started getting overexcited and this resulted in them breathing out flames. Horus yelled out an order but it was too late. The flames had caught on to the adjacent trees that were very dry and immediately shot into a high flaming torch. The fire spread quickly to the nearby trees and it was soon a bushfire. The dragon she had rode on at the beginning swooped down from the skies and lowered his head so that she may climb up. She mounted and it immediately took off to the skies with the other dragons following closely. Horus was not very pleased with the incident but told her that the rains would take care of the bushfire in due course. He was still pleased with the rigour shown by the dragons in the training despite the incident as they were relatively young and inexperienced dragons. They are almost ready, he said with a smile.

Like doll on a shelf
30 May 2020
Icicles
Playing with my tears
Uprooted
From the trees
Falling they put soul at ease
On weather’s arrears
The water
The heart deranges
Fraying path
Through the veins
Its wake the mind estranges
Seasons of our pains
In their light
I renewed myself
No longer
Prone to flee
Circumstances that shook me
Like doll on a shelf

Eurythmics – Here Comes The Rain Again (Freemasons Remix)
When the stakes are high
29 May 2020
Mind travelled
Through the rising tides
Pregnant waves
Spilling forth
Seaweeds and plankton gushing
Like cry from a heart
To depart
From object of love
Like arrow
Piercing side
Forgotten the unwed bride
Widow of morrow
The sorrow
It wells in the soul
No control
Over tears
They spell out our random fears
When the stakes are high

Desolation’s land
26 May 2020
It rises
From deep within me
Molten fire
Lava’s ash
Through mind’s eye I see them crash
The colossal waves
Tsunami
Riding through the coast
In my mind
I see it
More than it was meant to be
Upon the first look
Bodies strewn
Particles of dust
The engines
Steel and rust
The only witness that stood
Desolation’s land

Dido – Hurricanes (Official Lyric Video)
Catch me when I fall
25 May 2020
The ducks are flying
Their sturdy wings an emblem
Of solidity
Wisps of airborne white
Traces of a tree shedding
All springtime’s whispers
Bosoms opening
Memories of summer hay
Open green meadows
Waterhen gliding
The reed caressed by the winds
Heartbeats in the chest
Willow tree rising
The bees humming in the sky
Afternoons of May
Summertime blue thoughts
Sprouts springing in rising mind
Catch me when I fall

Evgeni’s Waltz – Abel Korzeniowski
Under your bright sun
21 May 2020
Daffodils
Spilling in the rain
The garden
Now awash
Flowers and fruit all laden
A feast for your eyes
Your features
Bright and definite
Like the love
Infinite
Gushing through the sentences
Composed by the heart
My shadow
Under your bright sun
Towards which
I now run
Happiness is not mere word
Expression unheard

Half the Perfect World – Madeleine Peyroux
Like a faithful friend
19 May 2020
I feel you
In the moon’s wane light
When we rhyme
Together
My soul feels like a feather
In melding with yours
We sway slow
In intimate dance
The halo
Around us
Trails of the shimmering glow
When our bodies touch
I hear you
Your words are like sun
Spread above
In the sky
Your heart meets my every cry
Like a faithful friend

Those sweet words – Norah Jones
Like seal on my lips
18 May 2020
I see you
Emblem of true love
You hover
In the space
Between me and hidden face
Redesigning worlds
The truth hurled
From voices of birds
Song from dark
Nightingales
They join the merry lark
In fusion of genre
Sit with me
I am now breathless
From your love
High above
A kiss so delightful slips
Like seal on my lips

Norah Jones – I´ve Got to See You Again
Solid ground denied
12 May 2020
North and South battle
Irreconcilable straits
Conflict in bosom
Flourishing in reed
Graceful attire of heart
Swaying to the rhythm
Solid ground denied
My soul like a wild gypsy
Yearning for travel
